    Hopper 3 Software Version H341 40.0 Remote Control Color Button Menu Shortcut List

    In PIP mode, I like to watch with the small screen in the upper right corner (the default position of the 9 available positions). Sometimes, the small screen blocks content on the big screen. When that happens, I click the Position button on the 40.0 remote to see the part of the big screen...

    Hopper 3 Says It's Recording, But It Isn't

    I was watching TV with a full buffer and behind live TV by 50 minutes. I paused the TV because I needed to do something else that would take about 20 minutes. Since I knew that the TV would start back up after only 10 minutes, I hit the record button. The DVR confirmed by telling me that the...

    Hopper 3 Software Version H329 40.0 Remote Control Color Button Menu Shortcut List

    There are 2 buttons on the 54.1 remote that I can't find on the 40.0 remote. The first one is the Back button, which allows you to scroll backwards, one screen at a time. On the 40.0 remote, I can hit View Live TV, which gets me out of the menu chain entirely, but I have to start all over...

    live tv, buffers, pip & apps....

    I upgraded my 722 with an H3 two weeks ago. I used this technique a lot on my 722 and now on my H3. It works similarly, but there are some significant differences. I'm trying to figure out these differences. For example, this morning I had a timer set for a one hour show at 9 am. I happened...

    Now that the autotune popup is gone, can we get a timer in the corner?

    You're trying to set an AutoTune for a specific program. It looks like a "4 minutes early" option is not available. I have a manual AutoTune set up for 4 am every day for a specific channel. It doesn't matter what program is on that channel. When you set up a manual AutoTune, you can choose...

    Wish List! Two remotes for the Hopper 3

    I have 5 remotes paired with my H3 and just ordered another one. I have 3 rooms sharing the H3 HDMI output via an HDMI splitter. I live alone, so I like to have all TVs tuned to the same channel in sync so I can walk from room to room without program interruption. What's your setup...

    Now that the autotune popup is gone, can we get a timer in the corner?

    I don't understand your question. What does "at 4 minutes" mean? How are you using the autotune? Can't you set an autotune for any minute you want?

    How to Wake Up to Two Channels Each with One Hour of Viewing Memory?

    I came up with a solution or at least a work around. If I make sure the secondary swap PIP tuner is set to Channel B before I go to bed at night, I'll wake up with what I want. The Auto Tune is set for 5 am on Channel A and that works. Channel B will be on the small PIP screen in the morning...

    How to Wake Up to Two Channels Each with One Hour of Viewing Memory?

    The Hopper 3 does buffer two tuners simultaneously. If you use PIP, you can swap these two tuners and both buffers are maintained. I tried setting the autotune and the manual timer at the same time, but that doesn't work either.

    How to Wake Up to Two Channels Each with One Hour of Viewing Memory?

    I like to wake up in the morning with my Hopper 3 tuned to 2 specific channels, each with one hour of viewing memory buffer full. I upgraded from a 722 to a Hopper 3 last week. On my 722, I set an Auto Tune at 5 AM on Channel A and a Manual Timer from 5:05 am to 5:10 am on Channel B. That...

    Are there any differences between the 54.0 and the 54.1 remotes? (Other than the logo on the bottom of 54.1)

    What are logs?

    How to make an auto tune timer on the Joey with a Hopper 3?

    comparison 622 vs. 722 vs. 722k? (install Oct 31st)

    Another big difference is that the 722 and722k with take a sling adapter. The 622 will not.

    How do you turn off the "program enhancements?"

    Would someone please tell me how to turn off the program enhancements on the 622? I thought I read it here in this forum, but when I search the forum I can't find the posting. Also, I thought I saw the option to turn off the program enhancements in the menu a while back, but I can't find it...

    DISH Wants to get rid of me, why?

    If I were Dish, I'd fire you.

    722's on Back-order!

    I'd have no problem with that. But it should work both ways. If the installer doesn't show, the customer should get a credit of the same value. Maybe if it costs them, people will learn to keep their commitiments, or at least have the common curtesy to call and cancel prior to the appointment...

    722's on Back-order!

    Very interesting. That puts some, if not all, of the blame back on Dish, doesn't it?

    722's on Back-order!

    In this thread, there are 2 instances of customers being stood up for appointments. Neither poster indicated any upset at being stood up. Makes me wonder who is to blame -- the installer who has no common curtesy or the customer who lacks the self-respect to complain, or even be upset, about it.

    722's on Back-order!

    Doesn't matter. Someone (Dish and/or their affiliate) has a responsibility to call the customer to cancel an appointment. It's common curtesy. There's no excuse for such behavior. Someone needs to be held accountable. If customers don't complain about being stood up in this manner, nothing...

    722's on Back-order!

    This is simply unprofessional and unacceptable. Why do you people put up with this behavior? If Dish is going to cancel your appointment, they have an obligation to inform you before the date of the cancelled appointment. The fact that you people don't complain about this behavior allows...

    Why Did I Know It Would Happen?

    If Comcast is offering the SA8300, no way are these two boxes "the same" or even close. I know because I just had both the Dish 622 and the SA8300 in my home for the last month or so. I stopped using the SA8300 after the first week. I returned it a couple of days ago with absolutely no regrets...

    Are These Signal Levels OK?

    I'm not qualified to do this myself. Is this a "standard tweak?" In other words, is this something I can call Dish about to see if someone will come out here to make the adjustment? Keep in mind I have a Dish 1000.2.

    Are These Signal Levels OK?

    Thanks. That's what I thought, but I wanted either confirmation or suggestion for improvement. Can the 1000.2 be "tweaked" to sqeeze a bit more signal out of 129? I've read some people say that the dish should be "peaked" for 129. Does that apply to the 1000.2? The 1000.2 barely fits on the...

    Are These Signal Levels OK?

    I'm testing on transponder 19. That's the default for the test, so I don't change it. Why do you ask? What difference would it make to test on the other transponders and how would I interpret the results? Today is a clear day and I'm getting the usual 60/75/50 by testing transponder 19 on...

    Are These Signal Levels OK?

    Does no reply to this posting mean that my signal levels are par? And that I should expect frequent outages due to bad weather?
